Located to the left of the fan switches is the halogen light switch. This  
controls the 50 watt halogen lights located in the front of the hood. The  
halogen lights also have a switch which can be rotated in order to dim or  
brighten the lights. Turn the dimmer control knob clockwise to brighten the  
lights and counterclockwise to dim.  
•Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. A caustic cleaner may  
damage the finish.  
•Do not take the baffle filters apart to clean them. It is not necessary and will  
void the filter warranty.  
When cleaning filters in 18” H. hoods, always remove the grease trough and  
clean by placing in sink with hot soapy water.  
Each 18” H. indoor hood will be equipped with one or two heat lamp  
outlets. The switches to operate the heat lamps will be located on the right  
end of the control panel. The 250 watt infrared bulbs are not included and  
should be purchased locally. CAUTION: Do not place flammable material  
on warming shelves when using heat lamps.  
Heat Sensor Thermostat  
Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor thermostat. The thermostat will  
turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking  
surface. If the blower is OFF - it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed. If the  
blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns the blower up to HIGH  
speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return  
to its original setting. CAUTION: If the power to the hood is not  
disconnected during cleaning, the heat sensor thermostat can cause the  
blower to turn ON.

filter assembly and slide the charcoal  
filter out of the channel and replace

Cleaning and Maintenance  
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when  
maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment is no exception.  
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.  
Replacement filters are available  
through your local Viking Range  
dealer or you can call the Viking  
Online Store at 1-877-834-8222.  
Cleaning the Baffle Filters  
As air passes through a baffle filter, grease particles collect on the stainless  
steel “U” shaped baffle channels and drip down into the bottom of the filter.  
Baffle filters are extremely efficient when compared to mesh filters. The  
power of the hood is increased as more air passes through a baffle filter than  
with usually dirty mesh filters. The capture of grease is also superior as baffle  
filters are almost universally required in commercial installations. The baffle  
filters should be examined periodically to assure that all surfaces and parts are  
clean. The filters can be washed in a dishwasher or in a sink with hot, soapy  
water. Simple periodic cleaning will insure maximum filter effectiveness.  
Cleaning the Hood Canopy  
Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage or  
discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat provided that reasonable care is  
given to the equipment. The following suggestions will help you keep your  
hood looking new. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For  
best results, you should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in warm,  
soapy water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS, STEEL WOOL PADS, or  
ABRASIVE CLOTHS.  
DO NOT use cleaners that contain chlorides, the  
chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish.

to scrape stainless steel. Every three months give your hood a thorough  
cleaning. On painted surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax cleaner,  
available at either a grocery or hardware store will do both jobs at once. On  
stainless steel surfaces, use a good stainless steel cleaner and polish.  
If service is required:  
1. Call your dealer or authorized service agency. The name of  
the authorized service agency can be obtained from the  
dealer or distributor in your area.  
2. Have the following information readily available:  
a. Model number  
b. Serial number  
c. Date purchased  
d. Name of dealer from whom purchased  
3. Clearly describe the problem that you are having.  
Renewing the Enamel Finish  
If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish on your hood  
to renew its gloss and luster and to remove any grease residue which may  
have a yellowing effect. Use any good enamel polish, refrigerator polish, or  
automotive polish. CAUTION: Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough  
abrasive cleaner.  
Renewing the Stainless Steel Finish  
Regular cleaning is the best way to assure that your stainless steel finish stays  
bright and unscratched. Use lemon oil or stainless steel polish to coat and  
protect stainless steel.  
If you are unable to obtain the name of an authorized service agency, or  
if you continue to have service problems, contact Viking Range  
Corporation at (601) 451-4133 or write to:  
Brass Parts  
Caution: All brass special ordered parts are coated with an epoxy coating.  
Do not use brass cleaners or abrasive cleansers on the brass option parts. All  
brass body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water. When hot  
soapy water will not do the job, use every day household cleaners that are  
not abrasive.
